Manufactured by the Nagoya Arsenal, the Type 2 was a specialized takedown variant of the Type 99 Arisaka for issue to paratroopers. As Japanese parachute technology made jumping with a full-sized rifle impractical, the Type 2 would be carried disassembled and then snapped together on landing. Fitted with an inverted "V" front sight and folding ladder rear peep sight with anti-aircraft wings, standard receiver markings, intact chrysanthemum, matching "620" assembly number on the mounting hardware, barrel and receiver, matching serial number on the underside of the bayonet lug, bolt and magazine extractor. Mounted on a smooth forearm with finger grooves and buttstock with cupped steel buttplate. Complete with a leather sling and cleaning rod.
